The upcoming propane dehydrogenation (PDH) plant is set to be a major player, aiming for a production capacity of 750,000 metric tonnes per year, positioning it among the world’s largest and most efficient facilities. It is situated at an existing Borealis production site in Kallo, Belgium, chosen for its strategic logistical location and extensive experience in propylene production. Additionally, the selection aims to capitalize on synergies with the existing PDH unit. Utilizing Honeywell UOP’s Oleflex™ technology, known for its reliability and sustainability in propylene production, underscores the plant’s commitment to efficient and eco-friendly operations.

The Bouri Field is located offshore in Block NC-41, about 120km northwest of Tripoli in the waters of Libya. Water depth in the region ranges between 145m and 183m. Is estimated to contain 4.5 billion barrels (720,000,000 m3) in proven recoverable crude oil reserves and 3.5 trillion cubic feet (99 km3) of associated natural gas with an annual production potential of 6 billion m³. Bouri field development includes two offshore platforms- DP3 and DP4, seven subsea wells and an Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO). Bouri is considered the largest producing oilfield in the Mediterranean.
